SMIC standardises its production
SMIC has chosen Mentor Graphics tools including Calibre, IC Station and Eldo as internal production standards.
In addition to 0.18-micron, SMIC will now provide Eldo device models on SMIC's 0.13-micron and smaller process technologies aimed at satisfying the design needs of Mentor's and SMIC's mutual customers.
"SMIC conducted comprehensive evaluations of Mentor's Eldo capabilities, and the extensive results demonstrated that it is an ideal simulation tool for our technologies", said Paul OuYang, Vice President of Design Services at SMIC.
"Eldo now forms part of our signoff tools for designs targeting 0.13-micron and below processes".
"We are extremely pleased to be working closely with SMIC and providing them with a complete simulation solution through Eldo", said Jue-Hisen Chern, Vice President and General Manager, Deep Submicron Division, Mentor Graphics.
"With their proven analogue design simulation capability, SMIC will continue to be at the forefront of chip designs, while Mentor's Eldo strives to be the simulator of choice for IC silicon vendors and fabless design centres".
